 In 2007 we bought us a 20
year old
camper, with the purpose to
do some traveling with it in europe.
We had it with us for some short
trips and took it with when we visited the netherlands for a month.
In 2008 we went for our first big trip in Norway.
We went from Risør (South norway) along
the coast to Lofoten.
(an island group in the far north of norway beyond
the polar cirle.)
We have diving as a hobby and Norway has some very good diving.
It us actually considered one of the worlds best places for cold water
diving.
So we got usa small portable compressor and took with us our diving
gear so we could do some diving as we traveled along
the coast.
There is a foto album in
google maps of the trip
Just click on the link if you wish to see it.

 Since shortly,i have a Garmin etrex vista hcx
hand held
gps receiver.
After my Magellan
explorist 210
broke down completely, i decided not to
get a magellan again.
I am somewhat
dissapointed in the mechanical strength of the magellan
device, thats one reason. Another reason was Garmin has now the hcx
version in its Etrex series which has a new chip that is much more
sensitive.
(I now receive over 6
satelites in our basement situated apartment, which with the magelan i was happy
if i had one...)
And.. it gives me the
opportunity to be able to use the other brand.
I started with setting up the device for my needs right away and
soon
found out that a lot of things can be done in a lot of different ways.
As it was
quit some work to find out how to use the device to
fit my needs,
i've written
down what i did in order for others
to maybe profit of it.

Was stumbling with stumble upon on some websites and found a flickr
site about
Transparent Screens
I liked it so much that i had to have something like it and
that kept me busy for a day in order to create something like
it .
I dont call it a transparent screen though, but a "grab through screen"

I noticed that while i
was calling with my ip phone (a small modem box from
telio called sipura) some times the person on the other side of the
line complained about bad
quality and breaking up of my voice. While i could hear
the person i called clearly the other side experienced a bad line.
I then found out that this
was actually only happening while somebody on the network was using a
p2p program.
This made me realise that the p2p upload connection competed with my
voice connection.
So i to see if it was possible to get some kine of quality of
service (qos) working on my ADSL modem.
I made some changes in the speedtouch in order to get a better ip phone
line quality while using p2p programs.
As qos works with priorities i wanted to

  Ok
we have just reached France!...
:-)
It feels pretty strange
walking in a typical
french city in the middle of Laos, but Luang
Prabang is as
French as French cities comes.
A good thing with that is that they have superb

 We
wanted to go to Laos and
the town of Luang Prabang from the Chang Rai district (golden triangle
Northern Thailand) and did some research regarding the boat trips down the Mekong River
from the area.
We found out that the fast ferry was both dangerous and probably
stopped by the Laos authorities (speedboats with four to six
wearing earplugs and helmets!!!) and that the slow ferry was a two days
trip usually overcrowded and not very nice, the place to sleep on the
way had monopoly and the state of the guesthouse was according to this;
bad we were told.Then by luck
we found an alternative. By going to

Hmm if you want to buy a prepaid
simcard in Thailand at least from DTAC you better be
able to read Thai.That is because you will get a sms asking you if it
is ok to give your number to some news businesses that will then send you an sms every hour 24/7
in Thai about something, news I guess. This you of course pay for
so the bath is going of your card fast.
Trying to contact DTAC
